There aren't many zombie films that get the viewer thinking, "Ooh, I wouldn't mind going there," like this one does, thanks to the ambitious decision by the British Ford brother-directors to shoot their movie on 35mm film in Burkina Faso. The gorgeously photographed scenery and the sun-baked undead brain-eaters give this a different feel than the usual efforts. An American engineer and an African soldier (inviting obvious but welcome metaphors and subtext) team up to make their way across country to the possible safety of a military base. The script is resourceful and not prone to putting the protagonists in unnecessary danger, the creepy zombies are everywhere and there's more than enough explicit head trauma and gut munching to satisfy any gore fan. The low-budget zombie movie market may have long since reached saturation point, but this one displays some talent, style, intelligence and imagination, proving that in the right hands there's still plenty of life in the genre yet.
